How I Might Spend My Summer Vacation

There was a time when I was excited to have summer finally arrive. The air smelled differently, the clock ticked louder as it
inched toward 3PM and every kid in my class rushed toward the door and 90-days
of freedom.

Back then, I spent many a day on the library
floor figuring out which books were coming home with me. I still
feel the thrill of choosing what books to take on vacation or to curl up with on a
sunny day at the beach, the lake, or even our own backyard.

Here are a few books I might try to read before September.

Those Across the River,
Christopher BuehlmanI confess
that I’ve already read this book. The author is a poet, the story is scary (no
knives or chopping) and I loved it.
